Journalism Next: Chapter 1

In this chapter, Briggs talks about the great revolution of the internet. He breaks it down from big web pages like Yahoo and Google to small aspects of the internet like Bits and Bytes.

Briggs then goes on about RSS feeds. I never knew much about these until I took this class but now it seems really simple.   There are also a number of web-based feed readers available like My Yahoo and Google Reader which are the most popular.

One interesting thing I learned about was HTML. It can help you in many ways like if you want to add a link to one of your favorite restaurants like this: Cheesecake Factory.

Lastly Briggs talked about the benefits of knowing the components of the web. He called then digital opportunities. I agree that the more you know about the internet, the better your chances are to get that dream job you’ve always wanted.
